I've seen him drive around a few times as well (i think still with the previous owner). Would love to spot it with the new wheels. Black is always great with yellow :thumbsup:

Wheels look good!

Tough to see but are the rear lights blacked out as well?

love those wheels and the superleggera side skirts... they work well together!

Does the owner install LP560 front bar on the Gallardo? The fitment at the side of the bumper isn't that good??? I thought it would fit straight on...

cheers

There's also a big gap between bumper and bonnet.

Ah nice, Nico has finally got some rims.

And yes the tail lights have been tinted since last time I had seen it, along with the LP560 front bar.

Hmmm I'm not too sure about this car! Usually I'm a major fan of custom rims and RSC bumpers on normal G's! However for this example, I'm not. They just don't seem to fit it, whether it's the wheels or the bumper or both together...? The car I see in the dyno pic is perfect!

If it was up to me I'd leave it the way it was, smoke the tail lights and see what I was left with.

Still, quite a nice machine none the less! :)

Definitely prefer the matt rims.

It's gonna look even faster than back in Sept Nico:

He's around here somewhere (he introduced himself to me because he'd seen my photography here), but not sure about the NoSeX.

Same car was spotted here: http://www.madwhips.com/gallardo-spyder-at-my-local-shell-station/

Thats the one. He has still got the NSX, last I heard it was sitting at Lambo Sydney for storage because he has no room anywhere else.

I believe he still has the NSX. I emailed him to check out the thread.

I saw this car while in Sydney on NYE, anyone know what exhaust it has? couldn't have been stock, sounded insane

It looks like a SL exhaust to me! Also just me or is that diffuser from a SL too? Looks to be carbon fibre...

hi guys thanx for the comments!
Yes I own NSX GT as well. Its sitting back in my garage now and the MB GL on the street. Will be keeping the NSX.

Richie- haha yeah thats me. keep in touch mate there is that nice G SE for sale. Lambo Sydney has a bargain R8 V10 in there showroom.

Details of wheels ADV 5.1 in textured matte black 19x8.5 on 235/35 19 and 20x12 on 325/25 20. Wheels are lighter than stock which is amazing especially the rears its bigger and wider but still lighter and stock rims are light made by speedline. Only regrets are should have went 20 front and maybe brushed finished.

In terms of look with RSC LP560 bumper and wheels I wanted the edgy/sharp lines of the stealth plane. the front bumper with bonnet gap could be closer alot of the RSC cars has same issue but stock has a gap as well. the LP560 looks hot side on its much more edgy and more 3D looking. I think i've achieved what I envisaged with the combo now.

Exhaust is stock just SL sport filters, exhaust switch and fabspeed pipes.

Body- tinted tails, OEM SL CF sideskirt and rear diffuser.
Custom stereo inside.

Thanks to Jorge and Wheel Addicts for the wheels and processing! Great communication.

That's Dino's Spyder. It's been TT'd by Heffner performance and apparently put out just over 1000hp on race gas!

Nico - Any plans on a TT upgrade? :D

The look of the LP560 bumper is so much better then the standard Gallardo one :thumbsup:

Hope to spot it soon :)

I like it a lot. :thumbsup:

Shout if you want me to shoot it properly. Maybe even dust the NSX off and do something with them together.
